Android 5.0 'Lollipop' Walkthrough

Google's taking a crack at some fancy UI design. In their latest update, Android 5.0 aka Lollipop, Google's done a fair bit of tweaking to the UI, animations, and the like (along with some optimizations for performance as usual) and it's not going unnoticed.

I, for one, am a fan and after upgrading a Nexus 5 to the new Android version, I'm even more impressed with the sheer speed of the system (even on a slightly older, not-the-most-amazingly-speced device).

In this video, I figured I'd do a quick walkthrough of the new features, changes, and upgrades that have been included with the new update for anyone wondering. Here goes:

Nice vid.
I want your opinion, I just bought the Note 4, and I want the Nexus 6 but the price/size is making me change my mind since I can later install stock Android on the Note. sooo, should I buy the Nexus6/9 or not?

How is the camera and sound on the nexus 5 with the update? Did it improve in anyway at all?

[PwnagePineapple]

I own a Doogee valencia DG800, I was wondering if you could post a tutorial as to how to root it. I can't figure it out.

David, thanks your the awesome video. Do you think Android 5.0 makes up for the custom Moto apps found on the Moto X? Because right now I am torn between the two. Can you have a custom Google Now wake up?

[Haik]

Is it just me or this "sold white" parts of the UI (the app drawer, heads up notifications, Google bar, app drawer button....) are really unpleasant ? 

[ActionMax]

I hated the new material design, but it's starting to grow on me... Really neat and clean. I flashed KiKat and it wasn't as attractive as i recalled it to be. Bizarre.
